Poppycard helps the Royal British Legion. Nearly 15 million people - that's about a quarter of the UK population - are eligible for the Legion's help. In the last year we have spent more than £40 million providing welfare services and relieving distress. The Legion is here to give support at every level - from advice about benefits to grants for household appliances. We think demand for our services will rise for at least the next ten to 15 years.
Flanders and Picardy in northern France and Belgium, saw some of the most concentrated fighting of the First World War. There was complete devastation. Buildings, roads, trees and natural life simply disappeared. Where once there were homes and farms there was now a sea of mud. But still the Poppy flowered every year with the coming of the warm weather and brought life, hope, colour and reassurance to an otherwise devastated place. 80 years after it was founded, The Royal British Legion continues to work within the ex-service community, ensuring that the Poppy remains a symbol of hope for all those who turn to us for help. And with nearly 6 million ex-service men and women alive today, the need for the Legion’s work is greater than ever before. That's why we are asking to you to carry The Royal British Legion MasterCard Card, provided by Bank of Scotland. Already, more than 19,000 members support our work by carrying the British Legion's MasterCard. The very first time the card is used, we will receive £5. Then for each £100 you spend on your Card, we receive a further 25p. Keep the Card for 8 months and we will receive another £2.50, and another after 20 months. This money will help us to continue getting men and women back on their feet, giving independence, restoring pride, and providing hope for the future. YOU will enjoy 0% interest for five months!
